What do u do if you so happen to break one of the valve cover head screws in the process how would you get the screw out with the screw head broken off?

Can the spark plug tube seals be a reason for oil birning? I replace the pistons rings and valve seals but my K24Z3 still burn oil.

My wife just purchased a 2006 TSX. I noticed some seepage coming from the valve cover gasket. Thanks for the video. Weekend project now.
